[BrandiCanucks]

Holy! Is Emelia ever active tonight! She hasn't stopped since I downed a 10in pumpkin pie and Cool Whip for supper lmao

 

[dustergrl]

Brandi: why wasn't that MY dinner? lol!

AFM: Sorry I haven't been around much, ladies! As a teacher, the start of the school year has kept things busy. In addition to that, we ate trying to get our farmhouse and 10 acres ready for winter. This will be our first winter here. We have been harvesting the things we planted- DH made 4 quarts of pasta sauce with homegrown tomatoes, basil, and onions. We grated and froze 10 zucchini for chocolate zucchini cake over winter, got a late crop of rhubarb because we planted it this year, and it came in late. Also harvested and processed enough apples (from one tree!) for 8 quarts of cinnamon applesauce. We are super thankful for the bounty that we have been given, and to top it off two of our fourteen chickens have just begun to lay their first eggs!

Congrats to all of you ladies finding out genders and hitting milestones! I have a karate champion inside me, lol. Very active Bip! I am going to try to be around more; I miss you all!

 

[BrandiCanucks]

I'm coming over for supper a few times this winter, okay?

As for the pie, it took 4 grocery stores to find one, and I got the last one lol

Okay Brandi! You bring the pie though!

I adore pumpkin pie. My favorite recipe is this one: https://allrecipes.com/recipe/229767/signature-pumpkin-pie/ It has always been on the back of the McCormick pumpkin pie spice and is the recipe I grew up on.

Ladies, I wish I hadn't slept my summer away! Not enjoying this cool weather, but I'm already getting the Christmas bug.

 

[mommylov]

I had a slice of pumpkin pie last night too and it was delicious! I do love Fall!

 

[Cherr]

It is 6 20 am where I live, and all I want now is pumpkin pie lol!

 

[jaspie]

I wish we had pumpkin pie over here! I've never tried it!

We had our anomaly scan today and everything was perfect. We're having a healthy baby boy!!

 

[NennaKay]

Hooray for bumps, mrswichman! Congrats on your boy, jaspie!

I have my anatomy scan on Thursday and am so nervous. We have had 4 early mc's so although we have made it further than ever before, my fear just wont let me enjoy this. Also movement seems to come and go. i do have a doppler at home so I can listen to his heartbeat but I try and not use that too much (although Im using it more now than I ever did before). Did anyoe else have anxiety before appts?

 

[Cherr]

Mommylov- I have really bad doctor anxiety period... to top it off it took 6 painfully long years to get pregnant with my first baby... I literally lost my mind everytime I had to go to the doctor or have a test done because in my head I had myself convinced that all of it was too good to be true and at anytime someone was gonna tell me something bad and it was all going to be over! I am very happy to say, in spite of how I felt I now have a beautiful 1.5 year old daughter and am almost 23 weeks pregnant with our son! I have let myself get excited this time and enjoy my pregnancy! I know it's easier said then done, but try to enjoy your pregnancy, it goes by so fast!

 

[Jaxvipe]

I was sooo nervous before our anatomy scan on friday bc DD had fluid on her kidneys and spot on her heart at her 20 weeks scan. I had so many Braxton hicks on Friday bc I was so nervous. so I totally understand!

 

[mrswichman]

I get nervous every time...I think its totally normal to feel a bit of anxiety.

8 days till our anatomy scan!!

 

[mommylov]

Thanks ladies! It took us a long time to get to this point as well and he is our first (might be our only as we cant do IVF again ) so Im just so anxious. It makes me feel better to know that Im not alone.

 

[rollachick]

Wow im jealous of all of your with tiny baby bumps. My stomach looks like how i looked at about 7months with my dd.
And also you are all on the other side of the world than me so are sooo lucky that your going into winter. Its just starting to get a little bit hot here 20-25C so not looking forward to wen summer hits im going to be cooking, its already hot enof here for me!!!

 

[Jaxvipe]

I've finally started buying things! I bought 2 sleepers and now I'm washing a whole bag of clothes my FIL's girlfriend gave me. It's so nice to start preparing.

 

[mommylov]

Scan day... eek!

 

[PriandRafa]

Hi ladies

nice to see all is well and having their anatomy scans done and feeling the baby!!!

I felt some movements, but I havent felt any kicks yet.
Starting my 21 week today
We used the doppler last night and we were able to find the heart bit with no problem, but just getting "curious" to why I dont feel any kicks!

Anyone not feeling much yet?
